How to check Superior Roofing Company on the Minnesota record
Minnesota licenses residential contractors through the Department of Labor and Industry — roofing falls under a residential building, remodeling or roofing license, and the department publishes the whole register Official lookup: Minnesota DLI license lookup.
- Go to the registry and search by license number first, business name second.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
